You’re good at what you do. And because of that you’ve got plenty of choices about who you work for and what you do. Rather than filling the next page with corporate platitudes and fluff, we’ll cut to the chase...
What's on offer?
We are seeking a senior-level Disaster Recovery Specialist/Consultant to assist our client in leading a review of the DR posture of their Tier 1 and Tier 2 critical applications. Working as part of the Hybrid Multi-Cloud team, this role will see you carrying out a current-state DR capability analysis, conducting risk assessments, and creating a prioritised remediation roadmap. Some vendor assurance activities will also be involved.
This work is currently estimated to last eight months, with the contract initially offered until 30 June, followed by a further 4-5 months' extension.
Who's the Client?
This role will focus on working with a large public-sector organisation. With their head office in Wellington, the team is national; hence, this position can be delivered from anywhere in New Zealand.
What you'll bring
So why do any of that with us? We’re good people who are well connected into great clients. We know what we’re doing, and we’ll back you 100% to get the role you’re after. We’ll get to know you, and what you like, so we can have your next role ready when you are.
We’ll pay you as much as we can and as your skills and experiences grow, we’ll go into bat for you and help you recognise that growing value too. And the best proof of that? Most of our contractor team have been with us for years, across multiple roles, employers, projects, babies, pandemics etc.
We pride ourselves on knowing IT people and we would like to get to know you.
Wanna talk? Apply Now and let's get started.
The small print
Applications close 20.03.2026 and can only be submitted via Seek.
Please note, only applicants that are eligible to work in New Zealand will be considered.
